Andrew Aurand is Vice President for Research at the National Low Income Housing Coalition (NLIHC). NLIHC’s research team is responsible for producing Out of Reach, an annual report that documents the disparity between wages and the cost of housing; The Gap, which documents the shortage of affordable housing for extremely low-income renters; and other research that informs the organization’s policy work. The team also co-manages the National Housing Preservation Database - a national database of nearly all federally subsidized properties (and their expiration dates) that serves as a resource for preservation across the country.
